John Pearce, who, since his recent breach of promise case, has been known as, " : tho man with ihe leaky heart." has now appeared in tho role of bankrupt. At a mooting o.f his creditors he stated that his liabilities were £318 Pis od, and his iissets £20 Is 7d, as a result of tlie action for broach of promise of marriage brought by Miss Dinan, in which the Court awarded £'270 damages and costs -£48 I_s od. This amount was still owiiiK, and Miss Dinan was his only creditor. He had offered Miss Dinan £*100 iv settlement of tlie Court award, hut she had declined to accept it.
